SEASON OF 1896. 

^H 

HK large number of people who feel 
the need o{ a midwinter as well as 
a midsunnuer holiday look upon Florida 
with iireat favor, ant! rtnd under its genial 
skies the rest and recreation which a 
working world makes necessary. To 
these people the personally - conducted 
tours of the Pennsylvania Railrex\d es- 
pecially commend themselves. These 
' tours are planned just to tit the two 
" weeks' vacation which almost every one 

may take. The excursion rates are most 
liberal, and the style of traveling is first 
cKiss in every particular. If the general sentiment con- 
cerning them is to be taken as an index of their popularity, 
they may in all verity be styled the ideal short winter tours. 
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com{>any. for the season o( 
1S96, presents a series of six tours. They will be carried 
out under the personally-conducted system for which that 
conipany has become famous, and every detail relating to 

(5) 



them will be maintained on that high grade which has 
been the marked characteristic of previous undertakings 
of this kind. 

Arrangements so comprehensive and complete present 
a rare opportunity for recreation and pleasure on desir- 
able dates. 

THE DAYS OF STARTING AND 
RETURNING. 

A series of six tours from Boston, New York, Philadel- 
phia, Baltimore, Washington, and other principal points on 
the Pennsylvania System is fixed for the following dates : — 

Tuesday, January 28, 
Tuesday, February 4, 
Tuesday, February ii, 
Tuesday, February 18, 
Tuesday, February 25, 
Tuesday, March 3, 1896. 
Dates for leaving Boston are one day 
earlier in each instance. 
The first five tours will each admit of 
a visit of TWO whole weeks in the flow- 
ery Slate, and the returning parties will leave Jacksonville 
for home on the dates following : — 
First Tour, Thursday, February 13. 

Second Tour, Thursday, February 20. 

Third Tour, Thursday, February 27. 
Fourth Tour, Thursday, March 5. 

Fifth Tour, Thursday, March 12. 
Tickets for the Sixth Tour are valid for return by 
regular trains until May 31, 1896. 

The period allowed is amply sufficient to admit of a 
thorough tour of all the interesting places in the Peninsula. 




UNDER PERSONAL ESCORT. 

Undoubtedly one of the most original and highly satis- 
factory creations of the Pennsylvania Railroad is the in- 
auguration of personally-conducted tours under the super- 
vision and direction of a Tourist Agent and Ghaperon. 
The former, a man of broad experience, makes all arrange- 
ments that may be required, has a perfect knowledge of 
all routes, attends to the prompt forwarding of the train, 
and in every way looks to the comfort and enjoyment of 
his fellow-travelers. 

The Chaperon, entirely an original conception of the 
Pennsylvania Railroad, has especial charge of ladies, par- 
ticularly those unaccompanied by parents or escort, min- 
istering to their necessities in a most intelligent manner, 
as experience has thoroughly educated her in the intrica- 
cies of railway travel and usage. 

In the Chaperon the ladies find both a companion and 
guide. While furnishing all information that one could 
wish, and looking with watchful eyes after the comfort and 
pleasure of those in her charge, the Chaperon also stands 
to unescorted ladies in the exact relation that her title 
implies. 

DISTINCTIVE FEATURES. 

The marked success and popularity of the Pennsylvania 
Tours to Florida are due to several causes. The complete 
appointment of the special trains, the liberality of the rate 
and the return limit of tickets, are features that have at- 
tracted the traveling public ; but the most popular character- 
istic of these, as well as other tours of the Pennsylvania 
Railroad Company, is the freedom of movement allowed 
the tourists after their arrival at destination. No fixed 
programme is set for them in Florida, but having arrived at 
Jacksonville they are at perfect liberty to dispose of their 



8 

time as they see fit. They may travel over the State in- 
dividually or in small parties, may stop wherever they choose 
and stay as long as is desirable, only keeping in view the 
return date, and arranging their migrations so as to be in 
Jacksonville in time to take the special train for home on 
the date fixed for its departure. This plan imposes on 
the tourists no compulsory conditions as to their movements, 
and at the same time secures to them all the benefits of 
the personally-conducted system. 

HOW THE TOURISTS TRAVEL. 

Each party will be transported from New York to Jack- 
sonville in a special train of Pullman Vestibule Sleeping 
and Dining Cars. The train will be in direct charge of the 
Tourist Agent who, aided by the Chaperon, will relieve 
the tourists of all the incidental cares of a long trip. The 
train will run through on a fast schedule in both directions. 

The route of the tours of January 28 and February 18 
is via the Pennsylvania Railroad to Quantico, the Rich- 
mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad to Richmond, 
the Atlantic Coast Line to Ashley Junction, the Charleston 
and Savannah Railway to Savannah, and the Plant System 
to Jacksonville ; that of February 11 and March 3 is via 
Pennsylvania Railroad to Washington, Southern Railway 
to Columbia, and Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad 
to Jacksonville ; and that of February 4 and 25 is via Penn- 
sylvania Railroad to Quantico, Richmond, Fredericksburg 
and Potomac Railroad to Richmond, Atlantic Coast Line 
to Weldon, Seaboard Air Line to Greenwood, Port Royal 
and Western Carolina Railway to Augusta, Central Rail- 
road of Georgia to Savannah, and Plant System to Jack- 
sonville. 

The returning party will travel by the same route as that 
used south -bound. The dining-car feature is a most de- 
sirable one, and cannot fail to enlist the appreciation of 



9 

all travelers, insuring comfortable meals at regular hours 
with ample time to enjoy them. All the meals necessary 
en route will be served in the dining car, the expense of 
the same being covered by the price of the tickets. Hours 
observed for meals will be : — 

Breakfast 7.00 to 8.30 A. M. 

Luncheon 12.30 to 1.30 P. M. 

Dinner 6.00 to 7.30 P. M. 



THE RATES AND CONDITIONS OF THE 
TICKETS. 

The excursion tickets for these tours will be sold from 
Boston at I65.00, New York I50.00, Philadelphia I48.00, and 
from other stations named on other pages in this pamphlet 
at the rates there quoted. The price of the tickets includes 
railway transportation, Pullman sleeping-car accommoda- 
tions (one berth), and meals en route in both directions 
while traveling on the special train. The rate from Boston 
includes in addition to above berth from Boston to Phila- 
delphia and return ; breakfast going and supper returning, 
at Broad Street Station, Philadelphia, except on last tour, 
when Pullman accommodations and meals are provided on 
going trip only. The tickets will be accepted for passage 
only on the special train. They must be used for the return 
trip only on the special train appointed to leave Jacksonville 
on the date fixed for the return of the particular tour in 
question, except that as stated on page 6 tickets for the 
sixth tour will be valid returning by regular trains until May 
31, 1896. These tickets cover Pullman accommodations 
(one berth) and meals on goiftg trip only ; nothing but 
transportation is included returning. 

Tickets sold at points on this company's lines not reached 
by the special train cover transportation by regular trains to 
nearest junction point with the special. 



The tourists, upon reaching Jacksonville, will be left to 
pursue their own course until the return date, when they will 
take the special train at that point for the homeward trip. 

Baggage should be checked through to Jacksonville via 
the route of tour selected. 

The company reserves the right to attach special cars to 
regular trains, if, from any cause, the number of the party 
should be too small to warrant the running of a special train. 

A SUGGESTION. 

The number of persons for which accommodations can 
be provided on a special train of Pullman drawing-room 
cars is necessarily limited. It is prudent, therefore, that 
those who desire to join the party should make early appli- 
cation for tickets, and register their names for sleeping-car 
accommodations. 

Tickets may be secured at the ticket offices of the Penn- 
sylvania Railroad Company in Boston, New York, Jersey 
City, Newark, Elizabeth, Trenton, Philadelphia, Wilming- 
ton, Baltimore, Washington, and the other stations from 
which rates are quoted, or by addressing Tourist Agent, 
Pennsylvania Railroad, Room 411, Broad Street Station, 
Philadelphia; 1196 Broadway, New York; 860 Fulton 
Street, Brooklyn ; or 205 Washington Street, Boston.

EXTRA PULLMAN ACCOMMODATIONS. 

As previously stated, these rates include one double 
berth in sleeper, but in case extra Pullman accommoda- 
tions are desired a limited number of persons can be fur- 
nished therewith at the following additional charges for the 
round trip from New York or Philadelphia : — 

For entire section occupied by one person $13 00 

For drawing-room occupied by one person 35 00 

For drawing-room occupied by two persons 22 00 

For drawing-room occupied by three persons 9 00 

It should be borne in mind that the above are the /o/a/ 
additional charges, so that in the case of drawing-room oc- 
cupied by two persons the per capita charge is |ii.oo, and 
when occupied by three persons the per capita charge is 
I3.00. 

For the sixth tour, where Pullman accommodations are 
furnished south-bound only, the charges for extra Pullman 
space will be one-half of above amounts.

RESORTS 




S the tourists will be left at Jacksonville to fol- 
low the bent of their own inclinations, a few 
brief sketches of the principal resorts easily 
accessible from Jacksonville will be found 
C^- on following pages. 

JACKSONVILLE. 

I002 miles from New York. 

This city is the great distributing 
centre from which hosts of travelers 
pouring into the land branch out to the 
numberless places of interest in every direction. It is sit- 
uated on the St. John's River, twenty-five miles west of 
the ocean, and is the largest city on the seaboard south 
of Savannah, and the place of first importance in busi- 
ness, commerce, and social life. The city is laid out in 
wide avenues, shaded with grand live oaks ; rare flowers 
and shrubbery of the tropics adorn the grounds surround- 
ing villas and hotels, and the sweet perfume of buds and 
blossoms permeates the air. 

An interesting feature of the city is the permanent 
Sub-Tropical Exposition. The extensive and handsome 
grounds and buildings occupy an eligible site within the 
corporate limits. The display is designed to cover all the 
tropical products of the United States, the West Indies, 
the Bahamas, and Mexico. The exhibition is open during 
the season, and one may see there a vast collection of 
the prolific and varied productions of the tropics artisti- 
cally exposed to view. 

The hotels of Jacksonville are numerous. Some are very 
handsome structures, and all offer good entertainment.

CEDAR KEY. 

127 miles from Jacksonville, via Florida Central and Peninsular Railway. 

Cedar Key, the terminus of a divi.sion of the line on 
which it is located, is a very populai resort for tourists and 
sportsmen. From a purely mercantile centre it has of late 
years grown into quite a winter retreat. Many and inter- 
esting are the side trips by steamer from here for Tarpon 
Springs, Clear Water, Dunedin, Seaside, Yellow Bluff, 
Manatee, and Tampa, Sights well worth seeing are the 
diving for sponge and the cutting cedar for pencil manu- 
facture, lathloe Island, a tropical garden, has also grown 
into prominence as a winter resort. 

PRINCIPAL HOTELS. 
Bettelini House . . . J2.00 per day. | Schlemmer Hotuie , $2.00 per day. 

DAYTON A. 

51 miles from Palatka, via Florida East Coast Railway. 
The run from Palatka Is in a southeasterly direction and 
through the famous Hart orange grove, over hummocks, 
ridges, and rolling pine lands, and down into the c>press 
swamps of Volusia County. The town is built for about 
two miles along the west bank of the Halifax River, its 
streets shaded with live oaks and stately palmettos. Steam- 
boats connect at this point for the Hillsborough and Indian 
Rivers.

DE LAND. 

113 miles from Jacksonville, via Tropical Trunk Line. 

De Land is a delightfully picturesque town, situated in 
Volusia County, on a pine elevation. It is completely 
belted in with extensive orange groves, and here the rich 
tropical productions thrive in abundance. All about this 
neighborhood are the most picturesque of lakes ; on the 
shores of many are beautiful residences and commodious 
hotels. It is a favorite spot also for the sportsman — deer, 
turkey, and wildcat being found in abundance.

ENTERPRISE. 

122 miles from Jacksonville, reached by rail or boat — on the 
Tropical Trunk Line. 

This point is a practical, living proof that there is some- 
thing " in a name," for it has the push, energy, industry, 
and active trade to justify its title. Its advantageous situa- 
tion certainly has given it a pre-eminence over many other 
towns, as it is, like its neighbor Sanford, directly on Lake 
Monroe — one of the headwater bodies of the St. John's — 
and is likewise widely engaged in fruit cultivation. This 
is the end of navigation for the large steamers that come 
up the river from Jacksonville. 

PRINCIPAL HOTELS. 
Brock House .... $4.00 per day. | Live Oak House . . $2.00 per day. 

FERNANDINA. 

36 miles from Jacksonville, via Jacksonville Branch of the Florida Cen- 
tral and Peninsular Railroad. 

This old Spanish town was founded in 1632 by the 
Countess of Egmont, who essayed the culture of indigo 
here upon a large scale. The new town, about a mile and 
a half from Old Fernandina, where was witnessed some of 
the most thrilling scenes of blockade-running during the 
Civil War, has sprung up on Amelia Island, at the mouth of 
the river of same name. 

The air is simply perfect. As one awakens in the morn- 
ing the atmosphere seems, and is, laden with the odors 
of a million flowers, with which are mingled those of the 
orange and banana and other tropical fruits, the salty flavor 
of the sea breeze, and the balsam of the pines. 

Its avenues are bowered by oak and orange, and the 
beach drive is twenty miles in length. 

Innumerable are the minor points of interest to be 



24 

found in and near this mother city of Spanish birth and 
its new-born American child, Fernandina. 

PRINCIPAL HOTELS.

GREEN COVE SPRINGS. 

30 miles from Jacksonville by rail or boat, reached via Tropical 
Trunk Line. 

The wonderful Sulphur Spring, discharging three thou- 
sand gallons of water a minute, from which the place takes 
its name, is located in a handsome grove of live oaks draped 
with Spanish moss, in the midst of a wide expanse of sur- 
rounding magnolia forests. The grounds are attractively 
laid out in romantic walks and parks. The bathing pools 
are extensive, and the baths are commended not only to 
invalids but to all who enjoy a plunge into limpid and 
pellucid waters. Think of bathing in open air in Decem- 
ber, and yet this is a common everyday enjoyment here. 

Excursions may be made by boat from here to Palatka. 
The romantic St. David's walk extends northward along 
the shore two miles through the forest to Magnolia and 
its fine hotel.

THE INDIAN RIVER. 

The Florida East Coast Railway extends from Jacksonville, via St. 
Augustine, to West Palm Beach. 

The Tropical Trunk Line runs to Titusville, the head of the river, a 
distance of 158 miles from Jacksonville. 

This river, so well known to people of the North, from 
the fame of the oranges growing on its banks, is in length 



25 



one hundred and forty-two miles, and in many respects one 
of the most remarkable and picturesque water courses in 
Florida. From its head, a few miles above Titusville, to 
the southern extremity at Jupiter Inlet, it winds in and 
through the wildest and most beautiful scenery in the State. 
Its width varies from one hundred feet at the narrowest 
point to three miles.

KISSIMMEE CITY. 

165 miles from Jacksonville, via Tropical Trunk Line to Sanford, and 

thence via Plant System, or via Florida Central and 

Peninsular Railway to Apopka and the 

Florida Midland Railway. 

This picturesque city is situated directly on Lake To- 
hopekaliga. Until several years ago it was comparatively 



26 

cut off from all connection with the outside world, but its 
many attractive features were not long to be hidden " under 
a bushel," as the investigating spirit of the American spec- 
ulator soon made manifest by erecting large and comfort- 
able hotels, and in many general ways placing it in the 
ranks of Florida winter homes. A line of steamers runs 
down the river to Lake Okeechobee, through the Caloos- 
ahatchee River to Punta Rasa on the Gulf. 

PRINCIPAL HOTELS. 

Kissimmee House |i.5operday. 

Lake House $2.00 per day. 

Tropical House $3.00 to $4.00 per day. 



LAKE WORTH. 

295 miles from Jacksonville, via Florida East Coast Railway. 

This beautiful lake is one hundred miles east and three 
hundred and thirty-five miles south of Jacksonville, and is 
twenty-five miles long, with an average width of one mile, 
separated by a thin strip of land from the ocean. Its shores 
are the only place in Florida where may be seen cocoanut 
groves in full bearing, and some of the most palatial dwell- 
ings in the midst of tropical gardens of wondrous beauty 
reveal themselves as the steamer glides by on the bosom 
of this transparent sheet of water. The cocoanut industry 
has become an important one, and this region, being the 
home of the enterprise, has necessarily become very popu- 
lar with those sojourning South during the winter months, for 
where the cocoanut grows no stronger assurance is needed 
for the desirability of soil and climate. Fruits and flowers 
of every description bloom and ripen on its banks. Border- 
ing the beach of Lake Worth are the towns of Juno, Oak- 
lawn, Lake Worth, Palm Beach, Figulus, and Hypoluxo. 

In reaching Lake Worth from the Indian River the 
traveler passes over the "celestial railway," starting at 



27 

Jupiter and terminating at Juno, with Venus and Mars 
sandwiched between. 

PRINCIPAL HOTELS (Lake Worth).

OCALA. 

125 miles from Jacksonville, via Tropical Trunk Line to Palatka, thence 
via Plant System. 

Ocala is a thriving and prosperous city, the county- 
seat of Marion, and the centre of one of the richest agri- 
cultural sections of the State, and is manifestly destined 
to rival other points as the centre of phosphate interests. 

PRINCIPAL HOTELS.

THE OCKLAWAHA. 

Starting-point, Silver Springs, loo miles by rail from Jacksonville, via 
Florida Central and Peninsular Railway. 

Surely a trip to Florida without a steamer ride up or 
down the Ocklawaha is not thoroughly complete, for it 
reveals a phase of tropical scenery peculiar alone to Florida. 
A succession of lagoons, lakes, springs, and swamps com- 
bine to form this winding river, the outlet of which is at 
Welaka, twenty-five miles above Palatka. 

A night journey up or down this river is one that cannot 
be rivaled for weird and beautiful effects, as the pine torch 
headlight on the little steamer reveals masses of tangled 
jungle, networks of winding vines, moss, and fungi, awak- 
ening storks, cranes, herons, curlews, alligators, snakes, 
turtles, and thousands of wild inmates of nature's house- 
hold. It will be as novel a sight to the traveler as ever 
experienced, and something never to be forgotten. 

ORLANDO. 

147 miles by rail or boat, via Tropical Trunk Line to Sanford, thence 

via Plant System to Orlando. 4 miles south 

of Winter Park. 

183 miles from Jacksonville, via Florida Central and Peninsular Railway. 

Orlando is the county-seat of Orange County, and the 
centre of a fertile agricultural region, and for miles in every 
direction the mind and body may find pleasant diversion 
by new scenes. It has the reputation, like many frontier 
towns, of springing into existence during a night, so rapid 
has been its growth. It is in the midst of a region charm- 
ingly diversified by beautiful lakes, whose borders are lined 
with groves surrounding elegant villas and cosy winter cot- 
tage homes of Northern residents.

ORMOND. 



105 miles from Jacksonville, via Florida East Coast Railway. 

This charming Httle town is located directly on the Hali- 
fax River ; it is noted for its delightful winter climate, and 
has gained a widespread reputation as the heart of the re- 
nowned Halifax River orange-producing country. It has 
abundant resources for amusement of every class of pleas- 
ure seeker. The walks and drives among the oaks, pal- 
mettos, and orange groves are famous. There is also boat- 
ing and fishing, and no lack of the fine fruits. The un- 
hindered ocean surf beats upon a magnificent strand but 
half a mile from the hotel. Many beautiful winter cottages, 
occupied by Northern families, are ranged along the shore 
of Hahfax River,

PABLO BEACH. 

17 miles from Jacksonville, reached by the Jacksonville and Atlantic R. R. 

Directly on the Atlantic Coast, commanding a mag- 
nificent view and offering a delightfully tempered climate, 
is this seaboard resort of Jacksonville. It possesses one 
of the finest beaches in the world, forty miles long by 
about seven hundred feet wide. The hard, compact sand, 
pounded as smooth and polished as a ball-room floor by 
the beating waves for years, affords a splendid drive and 
a bathing ground unexcelled. The village is mainly a sea- 
port sanitarium town, and affords every modern facility for 
the tourist or invalid. 

PRINCIPAL HOTELS. 
Ocean House Special rates. 

PALATKA. 

75 miles by boat, 55 miles by rail from Jacksonville, via Tropical Trunk 

Line. 25 miles from St. Augustine, via Florida 

East Coast Railway. 

This thriving and picturesque town is the centre of a 
large orange-growing district, and many of the most famous 
groves in the State are located in the vicinity. Palatka is 
the county-seat of Putnam, and the starting point for boat 
excursions on the Ocklawaha and Upper St. John's Rivers. 
Good shooting and fishing and bathing may be enjoyed. 

PRINCIPAL HOTELS. 

St. George House |2.cx) per day. 

Graham House I300 per day. 

Putnam House $4.00 per day. 

PUNTA GORDA. 

284 miles from Jacksonville, via Tropical Trunk Line to Sanford, thence 
via Plant System. 

Within easy reach of the most famous tarpon fishing- 
grounds on the coast is Punta Gorda, the most southerly 



31 

railroad terminus on the Gulf coast. No more exciting sport 
exists than hooking one of these " game fish " — the tarpon. 
Up to five years ago this fish was never taken except by 
harpoon or seine, and to come down now and land it with 
a thin, silken thread line is certainly a deviation from the 
old school, and sport of no small account. If in two or 
three hours after taking the bait the angler lands his 
"prize" he is indeed fortunate. Here, at Punta Gorda, 
outfits, guides, boats, and all nece^jsary paraphernalia can 
be procured. 

PRINCIPAL HOTELS. 

De Soto House I2.50 per day. 

Hotel Georgia . $2.00 per day. 

Hotel Southland $3.00 per day. 

Punta Gorda Hotel $4.00 per day. 

ROCKLEDGE. 

175 miles from Jacksonville, all rail via Florida East 
Coast Railway. 

False Cape and Cape Canaveral throw their protecting 
arms far out into the sea, and shield the productive ter- 
ritory to the south from every chilly wind. It is in this 
sheltered nook that Rockledge has sprung into the prom- 
inent health and agricultural mart of to-day. It is the 
capital of the famous Indian River Country, world-renowned 
for its oranges, and little less celebrated for the quantity 
and variety of its game. It is undoubtedly one of the most 
beautiful and delightful places in Florida, and its attractions 
are yearly becoming better appreciated. The palmetto palm 
grows here in wild abundance, and the effect of avenues of 
these graceful trees is decidedly odd and picturesque in 
the extreme. 

PRINCIPAL HOTELS. 

Hotel Indian River $4.00 per day. 

Rockledge House $2.50 per day.

ST.. AUGUSTINE. 

36 miles from Jacksonville. Reached by the Florida East Coast 
Railway. 

First in point of historical interest of all the cities of 
Florida is St. Augustine, the oldest town in America. The 
I city was founded by the Spaniards centuries 
^ ago, and many of the present inhabitants are 
V descendants of the original grandees. 

^^^^ m It savors yet decidedly of the Span- 

>^^^^^^^ H ish, and the quaint, old, balconied 
houses, narrow, winding streets, 
the ruins of the old walls, and' 
the city gates, combine to 
form an old-world picture 
strangely in contrast with 
the newness of to-day. 
The natural advan- 
tages of St. Augus- 
tine are many. It 
enjoys a well-found- 
ed reputation for 
healthfulness, and 
- possesses a magnifi- 
cent beach, on which 
sea-bathing may be 
indulged in from 
the year's beginning 
to its end. Its grand 
possibilities have at- 
tracted the attention of capital- 
ists, who have erected three of the 
most superb hotels in the world. 
These palaces, the Ponce de Leon, 
Cordova, and Alcazar, are built of coquina, a curious shell 
formation. The architecture is Spanish Renaissance and

Mooresque ; the decorations and ornamentations are wrought 
in the same spirit, and the furnishing is in keeping with the 
skill which designed and the taste that executed the grand 
piles. They have no equals in the world, and yet they 
harmonize most happily with their antique surroundings. 
Other attractive features of the old town are the sea wall, 
the old slave market, the Huguenot Cemetery, the Plaza 
de la Constitution, and the Castle of San Marco, now be- 
come Fort Marion.

SANFORD. 

125 miles, via Tropical Trunk Line ; also reached by boat on 
St. John's River. 

Sanford is a very important railroad junction point as 
well as the centre of orange culture. It was originally a 
Spanish grant, and passed from hand to hand until 1870, 
when it was purchased by Gen. H. S. Sanford, through 
whose instrumentality a number of Swedish families were 
imported, and to their toil and industry the prosperity of 
the present community is largely due. The picturesque 
body of Lake Monroe, on whose shore it is partly built, 
adds no small share to the general attractive features of the 



34 

place. It has long been -held in the high estimation ot 
Florida tourists and well warrants a visit. 

PRINCIPAL HOTELS. 

Sanford House 13.50 to $4.00 per day. 

Sirriue Hotel $2.00 per day. 

San Leon Hotel $2.00 lo $2.50 per day. 



SILVER SPRINGS. 

100 miles from Jacksonville, on the Florida Central and Peninsular 
Railroad ; also reached via Palatka and Plant System. 

These springs or wells cover the bottom of a large and 
beautiful lake, and are really one of the greatest of natural 
wonders. So transparent is the water that pebbles and sand 
can be seen distinctly at the bottom, sometimes eighty and 
ninety feet below the surface. 

This place is owned and cultivated by the Florida Cen- 
tral and Peninsular Railroad, and is one of the prettiest 
places in Florida. 

This crystal pool, supposed to have been Ponce de Leon's 
fountain of perpetual youth, is reached via Silver Spring Run, 
a swift and pellucid stream. A side trip may be made 
from the springs to Ocala, which is si.x miles distant. 



TALLAHASSEE. 

i65*miles from Jacksonville, via Florida Central and Peninsular Railroad. 

It is the capital of the State and a source of pride to all 
Floridians. It is beautifully built on a high elevation, and 
the design of the broad streets and avenues, shaded with 
evergreens and live oaks, and the bountiful and luxurious 
growth of flowers and shrubs, make it a veritable garden 
spot. 

Here is the Lafayette Land Grant, and the noted lakes 
swarming with ducks and brant. The Murat residence, 
and the grave of Prince Achille Murat, son of the King of 
Naples, and a hund'ed and one places, may be visited and 



35 

enjoyed to the profit of the tourist. Among these is the 
celebrated Wauklilla Spring, fourteen miles south of the 
city, reached by carriage or saddle, and which is the rival 
in area and depth to the great Silver Spring near Ocala. 

PRINCIPAL HOTELS. 

Baldwin House $2.00 per day. 

New Leon Hotel $3.00 per day. 

St. James Hotel I2.50 to I3.00 per day. 

TAMPA. 

240 miles from Jacksonville, via Florida Central and Peninsular Railway, 

or via Tropical Trunk Line to Sanford and South 

Florida Railroad. 

The run from Jacksonville to Tampa via Sanford is not 
without interest, as the passenger traverses Winter Park, 
Orlando, and the high pine lands to the Kissimmee Lake 
district, and thence on to that fertile and productive country 
where the town stakes of Tampa were first driven. 







ON TAMPA EAV 



- 36 

Here cotton, com, rice, sugar cane, orange, lime, lemon, 
banana, and all the fruits of a tropical zone grow in pro- 
fusion. Its seaport and mercantile value give it a prom- 
inent place among the cities of the State, and as a winter 
refuge it is not surpassed by any point on the Gulf Coast. 
The great Tampa Bay Hotel is the largest in the South, 
and is a marvel of luxurious appointments and lavish 
outlay. Port Tampa, nine miles south of Tampa, is the 
terminus of the Plant System of Railroads. It is situated 
on the shores of Tampa Bay, and from its wharves the 
steamers sail for Havana and Jamaica. The "Inn" at 
Port Tampa is located immediately upon the long pier, 
and is a very agreeable stopping place en route to or from 
Key West and Cuba.

TARPON SPRINGS. 

121 miles from Sanford, via Plant System. 

246 miles from Jacksonville, via Tropical Trunk Line to Sanford, thence 
via Plant System. 

The Orange Belt Railway completely cuts the peninsula 
in two, running through it in a slightly southwesterly direc- 
tion. Foremost among the many attractive winter towns 
which have come into influential life along its line is Tarpon 
Springs, a dozen stations from the road's terminus. The 
rapid clearing and building of this South Florida town 
would surprise some of the Western land boomers. It has 
the advantage of situation, the warm winds from the Gulf 
waters, whose power, from all accounts, works wonders, 
and orange groves of number and great yield.

TAVARES. 

150 miles from Jacksonville, via Florida Central and Peninsular 

Railway ; also reached via Tropical Trunk Line to 

Palatka and Plant System. 

Though exerting considerable influence as a railroad 
centre, it is distinctively the nucleus of the orange grove 
cultivation. At few points in the State could a better idea 
of this interesting culture be studied than here, and it ranks 
not among the least of its neighbors as a winter sanitarium, 
for the fresh vegetables and pure water supply are demands 
it can without trouble comply with. Numerous drives and 
pleasure jaunts present themselves for the amusement and 
benefit of the tourist. 

PRINCIPAL HOTELS. 

Osceola House Special rates. 

Tavares Hotel $2.50 to $3.50 per day. 

TITUSVILLE. 

154 miles from Jacksonville, via Florida East Coast Railway. 

158 miles southeast of Jacksonville, terminus of Tropical Trunk Line, 
and connection for all points on Indian River by steamer. 

A growing and prosperous town is Titusville. The 
famous hummock land extends for a distance of forty miles 
north of the residential portion, and is some of the most 
fertile soil in the State. Large sugar plantations and vege- 
table gardens convince the most skeptical as to fertility of 
the soil. 

PRINCIPAL HOTELS. 
Grand View Hotel . $2.50 per day. | Lund House .... $2.00 per day. 

WALDO. 

56 miles from Jacksonville, via Florida Central and Peninsular Railway. 
This interesting and growing town is the junction of the 
Cedar Key Branch, and is most beautifully situated. Near 
here is the oldest and largest orange tree in the State, 
which has borne ten thousand oranges in one season. 



38 

Lake Alto and Santa F6 are but a few miles distant, af- 
fording a charming little excursion by steamer on the Santa 
F^ Canal. 

PRINCIPAL HOTELS.

COCOA PALM A.ND ORANGE GROVE. 



WINTER PARK. 

143 miles from Jacksonville, via Tropical Trunk Line to Sauford, and 

thence via Plant System ; also via Florida 

Central and Peninsular Railway. 

When one considers that this resort, known to-day all 
over the States and abroad, was in 1881 a complete wil- 



39 

derness, it shows with what rapidity towns and cities are 
born in this wonderful country of ours. It is a picturesque 
town, laid out in the shape of a Greek cross, bordering 
on the shores of a chain of pretty lakes. The region im- 
mediately surrounding is highly productive of oranges. It 
is undoubtedly one of the best known and most highly 
esteemed winter homes in the far South, being extremely 
picturesque and healthful. The noted Seminole Hotel, 
built in the most artistic and modern style, is alive with 
the gayety and life of a migratory people under its rich and 
hospitable roof. 

PRINCIPAL HOTELS. 

Seminole Hotel $400 per day. 

Rogers House $2.00 to $3.00 per day. 



This list could be extended to great length, and then 
perhaps all the attractive places would not secure mention. 
The sketches are intended as brief introductions to the 
most prominent places that typify the distinctive life and 
characteristics of this wonderful land, with its earth, air, 
and water forming nature's most perfect sanitarium, where 
thousands are restored to health and strength. The ro- 
mantic Spaniard who sought the fount of perpetual youth 
here exercised excellent judgment. 

If the hand-book serves to direct the steps of the tourist 
into pleasant paths its purpose will have been achieved.
